It was at 7:10 o'clock the ed invasion of the domicile occurred. Mrs. Jost aver- red that Mr. Unsworth’'s entry and that al It was hinted by Mr. Unsworth's desire to oust he detached an in- it out o window. He was still disar- ranging things when she hastened to inform the police. John H. Rayborn, father of the com- heard Mr. Unsworth say to her: “Have you got your rent?” and then declared that he did not have to show her the authority under which he had undertaken to wreck her home. He also said,” Mr. Rayborn testified, “that he would throw the whole d—d | push out, and he did throw out the safe, four doors and one window.” Mr. Rayborn also went for police aid, and when he returned with Sergeant Green and Patrolman O'Connor the were locked, 80 he clambered 1 a window to admit the peace preservers. frs. Ida Manning of 123 Oak street ited the Jost residence at 11 o'clock that same morning and saw “every- thing upset” and the floors covered with plaster that had been knocked from the walls, presumably by Mr. Unsworth. The defense will be given its inning next Monday. Mr. Unsworth resides at 538 McAllister street. * ». s When a member of the vigilant China- town squad captured Wong Kee a great ST <+ — sigh of relief went up from Waverly place, and when Judge Mogan sentenced Wong Kee to six months’ imprisonment there was talk among the pig-tailed bench-warmers of celebrating the event with pyrotechnics. So intense was the | satisfaction conveyed by the sentence to one full-skirted Celestial that he handed a cigar to Clerk “Pat” Grey, who said he appreciated the gift so highly that he would never smoke it, but preserve it as a souvenir of the joyous occasion. Wong Kee had long been a nocturnal annoyance to the res..ents of Waverly place ere his arrest was effected. It was his wont to travel over house roofs and drop through skylights and scare harem inmates nigh to death and pilfer such articles as he could safely get away with. So elusive was he that a hundred traps set for him were unproductive of His agility was phenom- enal, for report had it that he experi- enced no more difficulty in making his exit through a lofty skylight than in dropping through it, and rumor oft de- picted him clambering up steep walls and along cellings as If he were a fly. Thus it came that the women regarded him as a “devil,” and the men hesitated to regard him as anything else. His undoing was brought about by the temerity and nimbleness of a Caucasian | peace guardian, who trailed him into a seraglio chamber which proved to be a | cul de sac. « e e A jury of ten in Judge Mogan's court | could not agree on a verdict in the case | of A. C. Hensen, Attlee F. Hunt and Jackson Hatch Jr., accused of perma- nently crippling Albert de Rome, their | fellow art student at the Hopkina Insti- tute, by “hazing” him. Nine of the ju- rors stood for acquittal. Another trial will be set next Monday. e e e Willlam R. Flynn and Albert C. Forst were accompanied by several pots of house paint of various colors when they boarded a éar at Bixteenth and Bryant streets, and when the motoneer and con- ductor requésted them to- unload the freight- they declined to do so, so a fight ensued in which all the participants as well as the car were liberally be- sprinked with paint. Judge Mogan will hear more about it next Monday. . s o 1. G. Betts, manager of the Mills Nov- elty Company, must appear before Judge ! Mogan next Monday and show cause why he should not pay license for nickel-in- the-slot machines which he left in the stores of various grocers, one of whom, Henry Dasking, was arrested because he could not show the rem:ielte permit. . . Leo Shourds, accused of trying to steal a watch and a hat from a newspaper pressman at tne Russ House, will get a hearing next Monday in Judge Mogan's court. ——————————— Half an Hour spent with us is refreshing.

PAXTON'S PLEA [SAY MOTHER WITHOUT EFFECT Court Announces That He Must Support His Blind Son and Invalid Daughter GIVEN TIME TQ FIGURE Graham Allows Him Until September to Determine How Much He Can Pay Though yet “in the breast of the court,” to be uttered in the future, judgment stands against Blitz W. Paxton, the So- noma capitalist, who sought on a plea of poverty to evade a decree compelling him to maintain his blind son and invalid daughter. In obedience to an order of court Paxton appeared before Judge Graham yesterday to show cause why he should not maintain his offspring. Toward him were turned the sightless eyes of his son, and holding the lad by the hand was his mother, ever watchful of his interests: by her side was her frail and pretty daughter, Roma. Paxton was ordered to the stand and ‘was interrogated at length as to the con- dition of his estate. “Why,” he said, “if I was to be sold out to-day I wouldn’t have a dollar left in the world. The stock I own in the Puget Sound Iron Company and the stock my wife purchased with her own money in the California Jockey Club have been deposited with the Wickersham Banking Company as security for a loan of “That will do for this time,” inter- rupted Judge Graham. “The point I want to determine is whether or not you are willing to support your children.” “I certainly am,” answered Paxton. “How much are you willing to pay; can you continue to pay $100 a month?”’ “Well I would first have to look fully into my affalrs. They are in such bad shape that I cannot tell at this time what I will be able to do in the future. It is alleged here that I am worth $100,000, but this is not true. If I were sold out to-day I wouldn't be worth a cent.” At this point the witness was released from the stand and his brother, Charles Paxton, was called forward. Charles Paxton testified that his broth- er, Blitz, had been left $185.000 in his mother’s will and was of the opinion that Blitz's unincumbered share in the Madrona Knoll Ranch, Sonoma County, was worth easlly $40,00. Stock claimed by Blitz in the Sonoma County Bank, valued at $32,635, was claimed by the heirs of the late Mrs. Hannah Paxton, mother of the witness, but Charles was of the opinfon that Blitz was fuuy solvent. “Well,” said Judge Graham in con- clusion, “T will continue this hearing until September 22. At that time the agree- ment under which Mrs. Paxton is recetv- ing $100 a month for the maintenance of her children will expire. Until then Mr. Paxton can look into his affalrs and while assuring the plaintiffs here that an allowance will be granted them I do not care at this time to flx the amount. It will be better that it be fixed at the time named.” During the hearing Mrs. Paxton watched every move of her former husband. He did not look at her, but glanced once or twice at his children. His glance was one of curlosity, that's all. —_— e SCHOOL BOARD COMPLETES EXAMINATION OF TEACHERS List of Successful Applicants Will Be Tabulated in the Course of Two or Three Weeks. The Board of Education last night completed the oral examinations of ap- plicants for positions as teachers in the School Department. Applicants to the number of 256 have been examined and the list of the successful ones will be tabulated in two or three weeks. Only the High School pupils will be excused from attending school next Thursday and Friday to give the teach- ers and principals an opportunity to prepare their programmes and reports. A circular was issued by the Board of Education yesterday, calling the at- tention of the pupils to the ordinance regulating the discharge of fireworks, and the State law prohibiting the snar- ing, trapping or killing of any useful songbird. The circular also thanks principals and teachers for their efficient co-op- eration and wishes them a pleasant vacation. ————————— Chiquita at Chutes Again. Mr. and Mrs. Anthony Woeckner of Erie, Pa., arrived on the noon overland yesterday and registered at a downtown hotel. Mrs. Woeckner in the glare of the footlights is known as Chiquita and stands but twenty-eight inches in height and weighs but eighteen pounds, although she acknowledges thirty-two summers. She has not visited this city since 1899, when she was managed by Frank Bostock, “the animal king,” who afterward took her to the Pan-Ameri- can Exposition at Buffalo, where she met and married Mr. Woeckner. Since that time they have been living quietly at Erie, but the “living dol},” as she has been called, has been longing to appear in public for a long time. She came out here under engagement to the manage- ment of the Chutes, where she will ap- pear in the theater, beginning to-mer- row afternoon. 15 INHUMAN Children of L. D. Batchelor Recite Story of the Abuse Inflicted TUpon Them GET READY TORUN AWAY Little @irl Saves Dollar and a Half Upon Which Fly From Her Home A pitiful condition existing in the household of L. D. Batchelor, a promi- nent farmer of Sonoma County,#was re- vealed yesterday wnen he filed several affidavits in suppert of his petition for a divorce from Susie Batchelor. In one af- fidavit tne little daughter of the couple, Alvina, testifies that her mother fre- quently entertained men at their home, and was cruel to her and to her little brother. “My mother frequently choked me and knocked my head on the floor,” says the daughter, “and one day after she had beaten me my father, who is good to me, gave me $§150. I put the money on rafter out in an old house, and I intended to Yake it should my mother beat me any more and pay my fare and that of my brother to some other town.” The boy, Wayne, also testified in an- other affidavit that his mother fre- tly beat him and often entertains Mike Cummings, a butcher, at her home, at which times she locks him and his little sister out of the house. In another affidavit it is set forth that Mrs. Batch- elor admitted that she was intimate with many married men of her neighborhood, and compelled each of them to pay her a monthly allowance under threats of ex- posure. BUYS WIFE STOCKINGS. “Well, just to show my good faith and to prove that I will give my wife all I can,” said Jesse Russell, bell boy at the Lick House, in Judge Graham's court yesterday, “I will tell you a story. A little while ago I met May on the street and she told me she needed some money. I only had $1 20 with me, but I slit it and gave her 60 cents to buy stockings with. There, that shows my good inten- tions.” The foregoing was Russell’s defense to an order to show cause why he refused tapay his wife alimony as ordered by the court. After he had told this story the court concluded that it at least entitled him to a short respite, and continued the case for a week to enable Russell to rustle up a little money. “Yes, 1 did buy some beer and took it home, but, upon my word, I didn’t drink 2 bit of it,” sald John Kleiner, who was before Judge Graham on an order to show cause why he refused to pay his wife, Minnie, alimony as ordered. Mrs. Kielner testified that her husband re- fused to work, and was a frequenter of saloons in their neighborhood. His pro- testation of innocence concluded with the statement regarding the beer. Judge Graham also gave him a week in which to mend his ways. JOHANNA GORMAN DESPAIRS. Edwin Sweeney was ordered to pay Henrletta Sweeney $35 a month alimony. Johanna Gorman abandoned her attempt to get some money out of her former hus- band, Thomas F. Gorman. ‘“Let the case go, Judge,” she said. “You can't get blood out of a turnip. Every time I come here to try to collect from him I lose time, and time is money to me. Let him go.” The order to show cause was dismissed. Thomas B. Eagen iIs in l: Broadway jail for refusing to pay his wife alimony, as ordered by Judge Kerrigan. His wife, Mary, had him in court, and when she had concluded her story Judge Kerrigan ordered Eagen to pay her 33 forthwith. “Well, she will wait a long time before she gets it,” replied Eagen impudently. “Mr. Clerk, raise that to $50,” sald Judge Kerrigan, ‘“and, Mr. Bailiff, take Mr. Eagen into custody and deliver him to the Sheriff for confinement until such time as this order is obeyed.” So Eagen went forth to jail. Decrees of divorces were granted yes- terday to Katie from Angelo Bertola for cruelty, Charles W. from Bertha Phil- lips for desertion and Lucla from Do- mingo Gally for failure to provide. Suits for divorce were filled by Anna L. against Willlam J. Fogarty for desertion, Ade- laide G. against Gustav Nelson for ha- bitual intemperance and A. M. against Mrs. M. M. Johnson for desertion. e — SEEKS WRIT 0!‘ PRDHIB]TION —Attor- ney George D.

Kusel | Will Try to Break the Will of Former Husband -— TEN YEARS' LITIGATION Aged Merchant Dies After He Gets Favorable De- cree, but Feud Goes Omn Though Solomon A. Kusel is dead the fight to obtaln possession of his estate of $45.000 still goes on. His wife, whom he has been fighting in the courts for nearly ter years, will contest his will, in which she has been left only 35. Ten years ago the aged merchant be- came estranged from his wife. She In- stituted suit for divorce and a bitter legal battle ensued. The old man gave up his business and devoted his entire time to the contest. Judgment was finally rendered in favor of the wife and she was granted an al- lowance of $10,000. Through his attor- neys, Riordan and Lande, Kusel ap- | penled to the Supreme Court. Om July 7 of this year the judgment of the lower court was set aside and Kusel was granted a new trial. This restored the woman to the positioa of his wife. A few days after this decision in his favor Kusel died. A will was found M which he left the wife he had been fight- ing only $5. Theywill comes up for pro- bate on July 7. The value of the estate was $i5,000. What it is worth now is hard to say, as Kusel neglected his financial affairs to further the bitter fight against his wife. His aversion to her in his later years was so strong that he published a pamphlet denouncing the Judges who had decided against him. A contest against the will is to be filed within a few days by Attorney Lande. Some sensational charges will be made against relatives of the aged man. H. E. Monroe is attorney for the estate. ———e— City Saves Big Interest.
